Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor element, particularly relevant for a kind of semiconductor element that utilizes extension spacer.
Background technology
In the past in decades, the size of semiconductor element (for example MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)) and the reduction of internal characteristics can continue to make moderate progress on speed, usefulness, density and cost on the integrated circuit of per unit function.According to one of transistorized design and intrinsic characteristic thereof, adjust the length of grid below channel region between transistor source and the drain electrode, can change the relevant resistance of channel region, influence transistorized usefulness by this.Particularly, suppose that other parameters all are maintained at definite value, the length that shortens channel region can reduce the resistance of source transistor best drain electrode, therefore when applying enough voltage at transistor gate, can increase the magnitude of current between source electrode and the drain electrode.
(meaning is that source electrode is the below that is positioned at the base material upper surface with drain electrode, forms the basis of base material upper surface exactly) can add the length of clearance wall with the definition channel region around grid in the transistor environment with indent source electrode and drain electrode.Particularly, the source electrode of source electrode and drain electrode and drain region form by ion implantation technology usually, its be utilization grid and clearance wall as mask to define source electrode and drain region separately.Therefore, the width of the clearance wall around the grid directly influences the source electrode of source electrode and drain electrode and the size and the position of drain region.Clearance wall is thinner or thinner thin, and the source electrode that forms around the channel region and the source electrode of drain electrode and drain region are just more approaching.Therefore, the length of reduction channel region is just reduced the resistance of source electrode to drain electrode, in potential mode and then improve transistorized usefulness
In order more to strengthen performance of transistors, can import tension force (Strain) to improve carrier transport factor at transistor channel region.In general, having need be at (the N-Type Metal OxideSemiconductor of N type metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS); NMOS) direction of the channel region of element along source electrode to drain electrode imports tensile stress (Tensile Stress), and imports compression stress (Compressive Stress) in the direction of channel region along source electrode to drain electrode of P type metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) (PMOS) element.
The general technology that produces tension force is included in after the construction transistor, deposits heavily stressed film on the transistor and in base material.Heavily stressed film or stress riser (Stressor) apply appreciable impact to channel region, change the silicon crystal lattice spacing of channel region, thereby import tension force herein.In this example, stress riser is to be deposited on the transistor.The method is to be described in detail in clear water people such as (Shimizu) to publish the 433rd page to 436 pages, exercise question at the technical papers summary of international electronic component meeting of calendar year 2001 be " zone machines Tension Control (Local Mechanical Stress Control; LMC): a kind of innovative techniques that is used to promote CMOS usefulness ", also classify list of references of the present invention herein as.
According to transistorized design feature, the thin thin clearance wall of utilization can increase the tension force in the channel region around transistor gate.From the above, a kind of common method that imports tension force is the heavily stressed film of deposition on transistor.Therefore, if the clearance wall around the grid is thin more, the heavily stressed film that is then deposited (for example contact etch stop layer) is just more near channel region.So heavily stressed film can apply the higher tension force of degree in channel region, thereby increase the interior tension effect of transistorized channel region.
Be and show conclusive feature although add thin thin clearance wall, yet the clearance wall around the transistor gate still has relevant restriction at transistor.The metal silication district that one of more general restriction forms for the clearance wall around the grid can make transistor source and drain electrode go up is near transistorized channel region.If pass the lightly doped drain (it is generally to be adjacent to channel region) of source electrode or drain electrode and spreads in the metal silication district, can produce electrical passage and pass source electrode or drain electrode via metal silication district to channel region.Therefore, the metal silication district can produce short circuit in channel region, thereby provides metal silicide spike thing (Spike) in potential mode in transistor.
In view of the above, in fact be necessary to provide a kind of semiconductor element in known techniques, it is to add thin thin clearance wall around the grid, is beneficial to reduce the length of channel region, simultaneously and solve the many disadvantages of known techniques.
